Know before you buy
This bowl is crafted from faience, a traditional type of fine tin-glazed ceramic. Because of the nature of this material and the hand-painted finish, it requires gentle handling.
No, this piece is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. To preserve the hand-painted artistry and the integrity of the ceramic, we recommend hand washing only.
Every bowl from the Escale collection is an authentic Henriot Quimper product, hand-painted by a single artisan. You can verify its unique origin by the artist's signature, which is included on every piece.
While the Escale collection follows a specific geometric design, each bowl is individually hand-painted. This means there may be slight, intentional variations in the brushwork that make your specific bowl a one-of-a-kind work of art.
The bowl measures 10 inches in diameter, making it a versatile size for serving salads, side dishes, or fruit. It is designed as a centerpiece serving bowl rather than an individual portion bowl.
